We haven't gotten a new theme put together for this forum yet but I hacked together a simple one a while ago that will hold us over until Rusty finishes the one he's working on. If you go to your user control panel, board preferences, and change your board style to "darksunblue" you'll have something that's a little easier on the eyes.

I think the "bigroad_blue" option is nicer, a good dark surround with dark text over a light inner background.Not so bright it gives you a headache, not so dark you have to screw your eyesight into the ground.

I've used the black background on the CAD station for many years and it is SO much easier on the eyes-- if I could figure out how to get everything else (Google, Yahoo, Ebay, etc...) to be "white on black" I would do it in a heart beat.

If you're on a Mac, you can invert the whole display in System Preferences>Accessibility. Windows may or may not have such a feature, I have no idea.

Another option is creating custom style sheets for sites you visit often, such as Google.

It's a "fixed-width" layout, so to accommodate wide images, the whole post scrolls sideways (see the scroll bar down below?). If you use a sensible browser, holding shift while you use the mouse wheel ought to scroll left/right.
